Theresa May faces first Brexit bill defeat, say Commons rebels

Looks like Britain is also having a crisis of party politics over national interest.

"Theresa May is facing her first Commons defeat on her Brexit bill within days, amid a last-minute plea to pro-European Tories to force a “truly meaningful vote” on Britain’s final EU deal.

Leading Tory rebels believe they have a real chance of securing the measure, with party whips also said to be worried that they cannot prevent an embarrassing defeat for the prime minister before she heads off to Brussels for a historic EU summit.

In a joint statement on Saturday night, senior figures from across the Commons told the Observer that MPs considering whether or not to join this week’s rebellion should “put the national interest, not party politics, first”."

Britain advances to phase two of being absolutely shafted

"THE UK has achieved a significant breakthrough in the process of being done hard by the EU, and can now move to being properly shafted.

After months of talks, Theresa May has finally agreed that Britain will bend over and take everything the EU told it to back in June, and is ready and waiting for the real pain to begin.

European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker said: “We wanted you not only to take your punishment, but to look happy about it and beg for more. Which is what we have achieved.

“Now we can move on to the trade talks in which you will find out in excruciating detail exactly how you are being fucked, for how long, and the specific areas that will hurt the most.

“Think of me as like the man in your English books, Christian Grey. Except without the kindness.”"
